`Petitioner,

`v.

`
`
`IPR2020-00314
`
`Patent No. 9,856,287
`
`Title: REFOLDING PROTEINS USING A CHEMICALLY CONTROLLED
`REDOX STATE

`PETITIONERS’ UPDATED MANDATORY NOTICES

`

`
`
`Petitioners hereby submit the following updated mandatory notices in
`
`connection with the above captioned inter partes review of U.S. Patent No.
`
`9,856,287.
`
`A. Real Party-In-Interest (No Change)
`The real parties in interest are Fresenius Kabi USA, LLC, Fresenius Kabi
`
`SwissBioSim GmbH, Fresenius Kabi AG, Fresenius Kabi Pharmaceuticals
`
`Holding, Inc., Fresenius Kabi Deutschland GmbH, Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA, Dr.
`
`Reddy’s Laboratories, Ltd., Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, S.A., and Dr. Reddy
`
`Laboratories Inc.
`
`B. Related Matters (Updated)
`The ’287 patent is not currently the subject of any district court litigation. U.S.
`
`Patent Application 15/889,559 is pending and claims priority to the ’287 patent.
`
`The ’287 patent is a continuation of pending U.S. Patent Applications 14/611,037
`
`and 14/793,590.
`
`There are no currently pending Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”)
`
`proceedings that address the validity of the ’287 patent. The Board instituted
`
`PGR2019-00001, Adello Biologics, LLC v. Amgen Inc. et al. (“the Adello PGR”),
`
`which challenged the ’287 patent, on April 19, 2019, and subsequently terminated
`
`the proceeding on December 6, 2019 due to settlement between the parties.
`
`PGR2019-00001, Paper 28 (PTAB Dec. 6, 2019). Before the Adello PGR was
`
`
`
`

`

`
`
`instituted, Petitioners filed a previous IPR petition challenging the ’287 patent, but
`
`the Board found that the petition was duplicative of the then-pending but now-
`
`terminated Adello PGR, and used its discretion to deny institution under § 314(a)
`
`without evaluating the merits of the petition. Fresenius Kabi USA, LLC et al. v.
`
`Amgen, Inc. et al., IPR2019-00971, Paper 13 (PTAB Oct. 16, 2019).
